Prisoners' Justice Film Festival

Prisoners' Justice Film Festival presents: Beyond the Wall 
March 16th from 6:30pm - 9:30pm in the Kenny Theatre.

Beyond the Wall highlights one of the most critical issues in criminal justice reform—the flood of prisoners returning to our streets and communities each year where they face tremendous challenges and barriers. The film follows five formerly incarcerated men who are attempting to rebuild their lives on the outside with little support from the U.S. criminal justice system. Through this compelling and personal account, the film vividly shows their struggles and strategies for survival beyond the walls of jail and prison.

There will also be a panel discussion with Q&A after the screening.

Prisoners' Justice Film Festival presents: The Prison in Twelve Landscapes
March 23rd from 6:30pm - 9:30pm in the Kenny Theatre.

More people are imprisoned in the United States at this moment than in any other time or place in history, yet the prison itself has never felt further away or more out of sight. The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is a film about the prison in which we never see a penitentiary. Instead, the film unfolds as a cinematic journey through a series of landscapes across the USA where prisons do work and affect lives, from a California mountainside where female prisoners fight raging wildfires, to a Bronx warehouse full of goods destined for the state correctional system, to an Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.  

There will also be a panel discussion with Q&A after the screening.
